Facebook and Your Blog

If I wasn't sold on having a Facebook page for your blog when I signed up for it a few months back, I am now. Facebook has rolled out some changes fairly recently that let you use Facebook as your page as opposed to as yourself or...your personal account. For example, when I am using FB as Village and I like a new page or comment on a status update - it tells them that "Village" liked them or that "Village" left them a comment on their status. For me, it's a great way to keep my blog happenings separate from my regular FB page, which appeals to me. I also like it because I know when I am interacting with a blog friend - they know who more clearly than if a random girl named Krystal said something to them :)

How to use Facebook as your blog page:
1. Click "Account" in upper right hand corner
2. Select "Use Facebook as Page"
3. On the box that pops up, click "Switch"
4. Voila, you are now using FB as your blog page.
Happy interacting!

Do you have a Facebook page for your blog? Let me know so I can connect with you. Here's mine!

OOOh that's very cool! I don't have one but have been considering. It all goes back to that work/life/blog balance though. Between the blog, tumblr, twitter, pintrest, weheartit, you name it, i'm totally swamped. But this does seem like a good idea :)

Someone setup a Facebook account for me, without my permission using my work address. My firm hates this because of the way Facebook takes data and links it in the background. Took me months to change the email address and clear out all the links. I Kind of lost interest after that and have not ever really used it. I might have to look at it again though, sounds interesting, thanks for the heads up….

I want to do this, but as you know I just started a new blog b/c family was reading my old blog. I want to promote my blog on fb, but only want some people to see my blog page on fb. you may need to write me a tutorial for the severely confused. and clandestine.

I have to admit I don't use Facebook much. I am set up with a blog-related account that shows my post feeds but that's about it. I hardly have the time to keep up with posting, commenting/reading blogs and Tweeting. Can't add more to my plate but it does sound like a great idea!

I agree, I also like this change. Only thing is that I think that when I like a page, it is goes to both profiles - my personal and my blog's one, I would prefer it to be just one them.Anyway, it's a good move and will be happy to see you there!!
